GENERAL SAFETY RULES<br />
Warning! Read and understand all instructions. Failure<br />
to follow all instructions listed below, may result in<br />
electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.<br />
SAFE THESE INSTRUCTIONS<br />
Work Area<br />
Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches<br />
and dark areas invite accidents.<br />
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,<br />
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or<br />
dust. Power tools create sparks, which may ignite the<br />
dust or fumes.<br />
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while<br />
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to<br />
lose<br />
control.<br />
Electrical Safety<br />
Double Insulated tools are equipped with a polarized<br />
plug (one blade is wider than the other.) This plug will<br />
fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does<br />
not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does<br />
not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized<br />
outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double<br />
Insulation eliminates the need for the three wire<br />
grounded power cord and grounded power supply<br />
system.<br />
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as<br />
pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an<br />
increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.<br />
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.<br />
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of<br />
electric shock.<br />
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the<br />
tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away<br />
from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace<br />
damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase<br />
the risk of electric shock.<br />
When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor<br />
extension cord marked "W-A" or "W." These cords are<br />
rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric<br />
shock.<br />
Personal Safety<br />
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common<br />
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool<br />
while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or<br />
medication. A moment of inattention while operating<br />
power tools may result in serious personal injury.<br />
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.<br />
Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves<br />
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or<br />
long hair can be caught in moving parts.<br />
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before<br />
plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on the<br />
switch or plugging in tools that have the switch on invites<br />
accidents.<br />
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the<br />
tool on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a<br />
rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.<br />
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at<br />
all times. Proper footing and balance enables better<br />
control of the tool in unexpected situations.<br />
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.<br />
Dust mask, skid defied safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing<br />
protection must be used for appropriate conditions.<br />
Tool Use and Care<br />
Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support<br />
the work piece to a stable platform. Holding the<br />
work by hand or against your body is unstable and<br />
may lead to loss of control.<br />
Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application.<br />
The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the<br />
rate for which it is designed.<br />
Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off.<br />
Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is<br />
dangerous and must be repaired.<br />
Disconnect the plug from the power source before<br />
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing<br />
the tool.<br />
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of<br />
starting the tool accidentally.<br />
Store idle tools out of reach of children and other<br />
untrained persons. <strong>Tools</strong> are dangerous in the hands of<br />
untrained users.<br />
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and<br />
clean. Properly maintained tools, with sharp cutting<br />
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.<br />
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage<br />
of parts, and any other condition that may affect the<br />
tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before<br />
using. Many accidents are caused by poorly main -<br />
tained tools.<br />
Use only accessories that are recommended by the<br />
manufacturer for your model.<br />
Accessories that may be suitable for one tool, may<br />
become hazardous when used on another tool.<br />
